About Lemon drizzle

Lemon drizzle is a classic British cake known for its moist texture and zesty flavor. Typically made with ingredients like flour, sugar, butter, eggs, lemon juice, and zest, it is topped with a tangy lemon syrup or glaze that soaks into the sponge, giving it its signature "drizzle." While beloved as a sweet treat, its high sugar and butter content make it an indulgence best enjoyed occasionally. On the brighter side, lemons provide a dose of vitamin C and antioxidants, and the cake's smaller portion sizes can make it a manageable dessert for those watching their intake. Often served with tea, lemon drizzle is a delightful combination of sweet and tart, offering a comforting, home-baked experience rooted in British culinary tradition.
